Re: Running 32 bit SPARC on UltraSPARC



Are you running 32-bit via COMPAT_NETBSD32(8) as opposed to everything
32-bit native including the kernel? This was a long time ago, but
COMPAT_NETBSD32 had various bugs/issues and not everything worked
correctly. If you're not trying to run Solaris binaries, any reason you
need 32-bit?

I'm not trying to run Solaris binaries - just 32 bit NetBSD SPARC.

Things that rely on libkvm or certain ioctl()s that don't have 32-bit
compatibility code may not work.  Last time I did this there were some
obscure sysadmin tasks that required 64-bit binaries.

I'll start building, and I suppose we can pull these out later when we find them :)
